Yarn producer Aquafil, maker of Econyl recycled nylon 6.6, has appointed Chiara Mio as its chairperson until 2025.

Ms Mio is known for her focus on sustainability and corporate social responsibility, is a professor at the University of Venice and is also on the board at Banco BPM.

Aquafil supplies to sportswear and swimwear brands, and uses ghost fishing nets and carpet as a raw material for some of its yarns.
